Once check with rugosa Saroj Ji,

other than leaf sizes everything is matched with rugosa?

Sizes will increase and decrease sometimes because of edaphic and environmental factors, 

check with this 

Climber. Stem erect, cylindrical to slightly flattened, to 6 mm diameter, ridged, hairy with pale arachnoid hairs becoming floccose; tendril bifurcate, born beside the inflorescence at the tip of a common peduncle, tendril peduncle straight 6–8 cm long, then bifurcating and each branch 8–10 cm long, hairy as on stem. Leaves simple, alternate; petiole 2–8 cm × 2 mm, densely hairy with arachnoid hair and multicellular flattened hair 0.2–0.4 mm long; leaf blade cordate, 10–17 × 10–14 cm, base cordate, margin dentate, apex acute; adaxial side densely hairy with multicellular
 flattened hairs 0.2–0.4 mm long and very scattered pale arachnoid hair, abaxial side densely cinnamomeus arachnoid

and with multicellular flattened hairs to 0.5 mm long and veins protruding; 5 main veins with the outer-most basal vein bordering the sinus, 5–7 pairs of secondary veins. Inflorescenceleaf-opposed, bearing a tendril, divaricate, umbellate cyme, with the pedicels arising from the same point at the end of the terminal-most axis; common peduncle 3–12 cm × 1–2 mm, primary floral peduncle 2–2.5 cm × 2 mm, densely hairy with hairs as in petiole, pedicel 1–2 mm long, hairy with multicellular flattened hairs 0.1–0.2 mm long. Buds oblong, 1.5–2 × 1.25–2 mm, apex mostly truncate. Calyx cupuliform, entire, sinuate, 0.5–0.75 × 1.25–2 mm, puberulent. Corolla petals 5 (–6), broadly ovate, 1.5 × 0.75–1 mm, spreading out at anthesis, apex cucullate, glabrous to slightly puberulent. Stamens 5 (–6); filaments filiform, flattened, 1–1.25 mm long; anthers orbicular, 0.4–0.6 mm long, medifixed. Ovary adnate with disc, disc with 10 vertical ridges, 0.5 × 1.25–1.5 mm, hairy.

No idea about specific ID, Saroj ji.

Genus is ok.

Regards 

[Saroj Kasaju]

Thank you Paradesi Ji,

Looks all matching as you per keys except for the leaf size as you have 

mentioned and tendril peduncle straight 6–8 cm long, then bifurcating and each branch 8–10 cm long,

which look longer here !

Saroj Kasaju

[Paradesi Anjaneyulu]

Ok, Saroj Ji,

these are considerable with in species it self as per mine, 

and wait for experts comments also,

With regards.

I think Ampelocissus rugosa (Wall.) Planch. as per images and details herein.

Ampelocissus sikkimensis (Laws.) Planch. looks different as per images and details herein.
